Client Testimonials

"We have been doing remediation for over 4yrs and used another local company. We decided to change our testing supplier and go straight to the top. Since dealing with CARIRI our reports/results have been a helping hand concerning our development."

All Aspects Maintenance Limited of Trinidad & Tobago

"In October 2017, I discovered mold in my house and was confused as to how to deal with it. A friend of mine suggested that I call the CARIRI and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the Environmental Microbiology Laboratory sent someone to do an air quality test. The technician was very pleasant and informative and the results were provided in a very timely manner. The whole process was very user friendly."
